Absolutely, both on the COVID side and the NFL side. Exactly. Is TikTok a threat to national security? I have absolutely no idea. There are very few people, possibly in the tens of thousands but more likely in only the hundreds or thousands who are competent to ask answer that question, but there are tens of millions of people who think they understand. I think football is much more about coaching than about talent. I think we'll see it this year - this team is going to be better than most people expect. Why don't they expect much? Because the talent is unproven. Why will the Bills succeed? Because the coaching IS proven. I think outsiders who really know football, like the best broadcasters, understand that it's more about coaching, but they don't talk about all that goes into building a successful team. Why not? Because it's bad television. It's much better television, throughout the course of the game, to talk about the stars, to sell the idea that the stars are the reason this team is great and that team is struggling. It makes for a nice on-air drama. It's boring if all they do is talk about Xs andOs, and about the work the coaches did to design the offense and understand what defenses are doing to them. The ins and outs of that stuff gets tedious. The result is that we - the fans - don't understand all of the detail the coaches and scouts do. Instead, would fed a more or less nonstop stream of how great these players are, and that leads us to believe that what our eyeballs are seeing is all that there is to understand. It leads us to trust our eyeballs, so when the Bills draft Coleman we run off to see his highlight reels and read a couple of soundbites and reach a conclusion about him. There are people in every modern field with enormous expertise, and that expertise makes a big difference.

Then why did he want to "head down to the Capital" to hang out with the white nationalists?

If he gets cut do we sign him? We already have the guy from the Lions who was suspended for gambling and Claypool who has played on 3 teams in the past 2 years because he's a locker room cancer. We can replace 1 headcase (Diggs) with 3 of them!

Diggs.. not even close

No, I don’t believe that, but it’s the ideal. I think much of what goes on at the upper levels of DOJ and politics in general is political and often shady. I believe there are lots of good, hardworking and decent people in the DOJ, FBI etc, but on matters this large, politics skews everything. It is interesting to me though that when people bring up concerns about behavior they see as outside the scope of justice, it’s often labeled a conspiracy theory. Your point was moronic. There’s not much more to say than that.

I would suspect this is true for both parties for either of the two potus candidates. In fact, 22% seems too low to me. And yet, here we are, doing this to ourselves.

I wanted to like this league, but quality of play is always going to be an issue outside of the NFL. Modern football is all about the passing game, and there aren’t even enough NFL QB’s to make every NFL game watchable. It only becomes worse when you create more leagues. College football has the luxury of future NFL stars being on the field. Spring leagues are essentially battles between NFL third stringers. That’s very difficult to get excited about.

During Tommy Sherman's Buffalo Bills career, he had a 100% completion record and a 50% TD%.

Amen. What you point out here is that the "mainstream media" (I guess they consider Politico as such, even though it is a relative newcomer to that status) does at least try to investigate and to approach people who may be on the other side with an opportunity to comment. Do you ever see Julie Kelly or Jack Posobiec or any of the other faves of the alt right even mentioning an opposing viewpoint, much less seeking out the subject of one of their postings for comment? The Politico article is news. It reports that 50 former members of the intelligence community signed off on a letter saying the Hunter Biden laptop documents have the hallmarks of Russian disinformation. It then quotes Trump's DNI Ratcliffe saying no it isn't, and Rudy Giuliani saying "if it was hacked, I didn't do it, and it was information on his laptop." That is a news story. Not opinion. Not everything in the mainstream media is opinion. Everything in the right-wing twittersphere IS opinion.

Way to miss the point entirely.

Ha ha. You believe these things? They are bots from foreign countries. They have been showing up all over Twitter. Some come with that disclaimer at the bottom. I’m not saying people won’t vote for trump but don’t be so gullible. Same *****. Don’t fall for it!

Maybe some people don't want the entire federal government gutted, and replaced with hack loyalist brownshirts? Do I want more Biden? Nope. Do I want Nazis even less? Yup.

MAGA: Nothing but the best!

You sure slurp up Russian troll farm info with no second thought, huh?

Not at all. Allen was phenomenal. But that’s one out the 5 times we’ve been eliminated. I still remember the look on his face after KC tied it up. Total disbelief. That’s why this last playoffs loss hurt extra. It could’ve been a redemption game. The narrative would’ve changed completely with regards to KC. Had them on the ropes. Just couldn’t finish. Oh well maybe next year.

You see the actions of Clinton and Biden as akin to jaywalking or driving 36 in a 35? That’s your fallback? It’s moronic. 👏👏👏 🤣

This is great. Thanks. I agree completely. I'm glad you clarified your point. Actually, I suppose it may be that I just missed the point in the first place. Humility is the key. I don't score high on the humility range, but at least I get that the gap between what real experts, the people in the business, know and what all the rest of us know pretty wide. I don't how many times I've said something like, "look, I don't know. I'm just looking at the decisions that have been made and trying to figure out why they made them." I don't always assume that Bills management was right; I just assume that they had some pretty good reasons for doing what they did, reasons that go beyond what I can understand. Reasons based on knowledge I don't have and conclusions driven by years of experience in the field. So, yeah, I agree. It's the attitude that says, "I've watched a lot of football and I understand this stuff," that bothers me. Truth is, you pretty much can't possibly understand what McDermott and Beane understand. And I think @Rampant Buffalo put it in a very interesting way - knowledge and insight. The area where I have some sympathy with those who aren't always so humble is the question of whether McDermott is good enough. Is he stuck in a rut, or is he still in the process of accumulating insight? And even if he's accumulating insight, how long is going to take for him to accumulate enough? Of will he ever? After all, millions of people spent their lives thinking about all sorts of things, but there was only one da Vinci. It's time for McDermott to paint a Mona Lisa.

The House is the GQP's little sandbox for discontents, who throw sand at the other children when they don't get the pail and shovel when they want it. Who wants 2 more years of this complete dysfunction and partisan lawfare???

Hgnata was the pick. Need and an absolute unit. They were in a big is slow faze.

We’re between the draft and training camp/OTAs. Every Bills topic imaginable has been discussed thrice.

I’ve been avoiding this little ruckus room for a while, but thought I’d duck back in to say: MTG is a loser. People who follow her ideology are losers. They will always be losers. This will not change.

Lol
